According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 217,019 people in 44,439 households.

Lapu-Lapu City is linked to Mandaue City on mainland Cebu by two bridges: Mactan-Mandaue Bridge and Marcelo Fernan Bridge. From Mandaue, the provincial capital of Cebu City is only five minutes away.

The area of the present city was called Mactan before the arrival of the Spanish colonizers. Augustinians then founded the town of Opon in 1730 and the town retained its name until 1961 when it was made into a city and renamed after Lapu-Lapu, the first Filipino hero who, in 1521, defeated the Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan.

The Mactan-Cebu International Airport is located in Lapu-Lapu City and is the country's second-busiest airport.
